Another long-thought-lost gem from the Fela Anikulapo Kuti archives, Open & Close was originally released in 1971 and is a total groove-fest loaded to the gills with raucous horn blowing, ferocious percussion (once again, Tony Allen take a bow), and song lengths over ten minutes. A1) Open & Close A2) Suegbe And Pako (Part 1) B1) Suegbe And Pako (Part 2) B2) Gbagada Gbogodo
